Has anyone gotten a BFN 8 days after Implantation bleeding, but still ended up pregnant?

Bibliophibrarian · March 2016

Hi ladies,

I've spent a lot of time reading posts on pregnancy forums, but this is my first question.

My husband and I have been ttc for 5 months, and this month, for the first time, I'm SURE I had Implantation bleeding 6-7dpo. I have never spotted, and this was light (3 drops, exactly), and lasted for about an hour. 8 days later, and still no positive pregnancy test! My period was due yesterday, and still nothing.

Has anyone else experienced this (i.e.taken a super long time to get a bfp after implantation bleeding?)

Many of us on this board have never been pregnant. You'd probably have better luck asking this on the 1st Trimester board.

HeartMama2013 · March 2016

OMG.

babymish · March 2016

The pregnancy forums that you have been reading were not this forum? No?

Please take time to read the newbie guide pinned to the top of the TTGP board. We don't promote symptom spotting and no one here can or will guess if you are pregnant. It's actually against TOU to ask (or ask in a roundabout way).

What is with these today?!?
::Palm to forehead::

Implantation bleeding is rare, there's no possible way to be "SURE" until after a positive pregnancy test that it even was IB. Bleeding mid cycle happens for many reasons... Most of which are not IB.
You aren't pregnant. The test said so. We can't tell you any more than that.
Even if someone had a similar experience, it would have no bearing on yours.
Andplusalso... This is a TRYING to get pregnant board, most of us have never gotten a BFP.

I suggest lurking more and reading the pinned posts at the top of the board.

I honestly cannot believe today!!!!! How many can there be?! It is becoming comical...

Bibliophibrarian · March 2016

Ok, chill out. I'm 35, and I have never spotted in my life. That's why I'm suspicious this time around. If everyone is as rude as you, I can see why people choose never to actually ask a question.

Neikoda · March 2016

Also how do you spot exactly 3 drops of blood over the course of an hour...

Yes. This happened to me and NOT pregnant.

Like others said you should read the newbie thread and lurk more. Good luck to you.

OP, that's like a super specific experience.

Also, ditto to what others have said. Lurk moar.

I think the only rude person here is the one that didn't read the terms of use for the forum they are participating in.

Cycles can change at any time for any reason. People tend to be hyper aware of every little thing when TTC. You've probably spotted before and didn't notice or care because you weren't ttc at the time.

I suppose I'm wondering why you're "SURE" you had implantation spotting even though now after 8 days you still haven't been able to get a positive test. I mean at this point I'd personally be anything but sure.

Luteal phase spotting is negatively predictive of pregnancy. Also, "implantation bleeding" has been assessed in a couple of different studies and so far no study has been able to show that implantation is capable of causing bleeding/spotting. A study done by Oxford on "Vaginal bleeding in very early pregnancy" found that:

The mechanisms of bleeding in early pregnancy remain unclear. Implantation has been discussed as one mechanism (Speert and Guttmacher, 1954). However, we found no evidence to support this.

Also, it's highly unlikely that you could have a negative pregnancy test a full 8 days after implantation occurred. If you did have implantation happen 8 days ago then I'd say it would be unlikely to be a viable pregnancy considering the extremely poor doubling rate of hCG that would lead to negative tests 8 days later.

I think that since your period is "late" with BFNs the most likely scenario here is that you ovulated later than normal. You're regular until you're not. You've never spotted until you do. Bodies are weird and things change sometimes for no real reason.

tamalahoops · March 2016

[Deleted User] · March 2016

Sigh. OP unless you are temping/charting you do not know if your period is late. You may have ovulated later than you thought. You do not know for sure you had implantation bleeding - the only way you could know is if you were also holding a positive pregnancy test. And if that were the case you would not be here.

It sounds like you just need to keep testing until you get your period. There is nothing any of us can do for you here.

I had implantation bleeding but I only realized that's what it was because I ended up with a positive test (edit: this was years ago, btw). If you have a negative test then my experience with IB is useless to you.

Oh sorry, I got distracted whilst I actually was "chilling out" and forgot to check back.

OP you need to chill out (and read the TOU).

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

Totes knocked up. Move along now.

Next time maybe pay attention to the rules of the forum you are posting in.

Bibliophibrarian · March 2016

Thank you to those who left kind responses. The rest of you need to calm down. Really. To answer some of the more decent questions, I know my period is late because I am 35, and in my 23 years of having periods, I've never been more than a day late. That's a pretty good track record. Also, I have been using OPKs and temping, so I'm pulling this out of a hat. And, yes, of course you are correct that I can't be sure it was IB. I just wanted to emphasize that I am highly suspicious because it is so unusual to me. I have no previous experiences with spotting at all. Again, thank you to all you kind folks who will be wonderful mothers, and apologies to everyone else for not reading the almighty rules.

Well if you're SURE, what do you need a bunch of internet strangers advise for?

Are you insinuating that the rest of us might not be wonderful parents because I personally feel like my dad jokes are on point.

OP, you know nothing of the women in this group. They are some of the most supportive, intelligent, and kind-hearted people I have the pleasure of knowing. You have to give support in order to get support.

juliebeannn · March 2016

I can't with today. How does it make sense to ask a group of women TRYING to get pregnant, whether you're pregnant or not? Many of us have never been pregnant! Maybe this is more suited for actual Pregnancy forums?

LadyMillil · March 2016

I love it when OPs imply we will be horrible mothers for being "mean" when they are the ones that say the most unkind things on the thread. What does that say about their ability to be a parent?

Eeeesh. Can we try to be a little less scary on posts like this? I get they are annoying but not ling ago i was new. The newbie thread is long. I skimmed it.
It's ok you asked this. Just know most of us have not been pregnant making this question difficult to answer. Bodies do not work like clock work all the time (some are better than others at it). And no two bodies are the same. But i agree. Please consider reading the newbie thread...and please stay! Join. Great group of ladies who are supportive if you play the rules. Also forgiving. I made a mistake when i joined too no one held it against me.

furbabymom2007 · March 2016

I think it means that I will be a mom whose children are not speshul snowflakes who need to be coddled and babied and soothed their whole lives.

Don't misunderstand me, my children will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are loved and they will know more than their share of hugs and kisses. But they will also know when they make mistakes and when they fall down and get bruised they will know how to pick themselves up and brush off the dirt and keep going. And they will be cognizant of their surroundings and the environment they are in before barging in and spouting off whatever they feel they'd like to say. And if they did make such a mistake, because i am sure they will not be not perfect, they would know when to back down and bow out gracefully.

Now would be a good time to practice that graceful bowing.

Girl that was mean. You came to an established community, ignored the rules, and posted something you should not have. People flamed you for it. That's not on us, that's on you. Suggesting that some of us - any of us - would be bad mothers is messed up.

I feel like you probably havn't been temping. If you had been your response to "how do you know you're really late" wouldn't have been "because I never have been before". You would have said something about the length of your luteal phase.

So I'm giving you side eye now.

Rottiemom86 · March 2016

@KarliQ88 white Knight much? Seriously read the rules and don't break them when posting! That simple.

OP you are not pregnant until you turn a test positive. So you are not pregnant right now... I'm 30 and my periods have been the same length until the last 3 and then they are 7-9 days longer than normal with no positive test. Our bodies are normal until they aren't. And I know all of these women who follow and have responded will be amazing mom's because they are strong and opinionated and don't take crap from strangers...

The responses to this thread were not "scary". They were informative and/or factual.

Threads will take a darker tone if OP indicates that long term and more than helpful posters will not make good parents.
